The first unveiling of our Italian Renaissance Costume!
The costume is made of a satin bodice and satin skirt. I choose dark forest green for the bodice, and plum for the skirt, both colors would have been available in a similar shade during the Italian Renaissance (of course, most likely in silk, not satin). The costume with the bodice was styled from a museum sketch on the renaissance period. It was a garment that a wealthy merchant's daughter may have worn. The bodice is stiffened with foam, overlaid with a striped sheer fabric, and trimmed in a frilly fringe and embroidered ribbon. As you can see, the bodice ties in the back. The headdress can be worn a number of ways, here it is worn as veil. I may post more pictures of how it can be worn in a later post, but now, it is time for our featured guest....
